It was still raining in the sky, and it had been raining for more than ten days, and in the northeast corner of Uyama Castle in the Toyoei region, where there was once an arrow tower, three men dressed differently from the others were sitting together, nibbling on black and astringent food, which was obviously a roasted and charred mouse.

Around them were a dozen ragged men, their hair disheveled, their faces dirty as if they hadn't been washed for days, their sunken eyes glowing like ghost fire in the night, their mouths swallowing rainwater, begging the man at the head to give them a little rat meat.
Outside them were hundreds of women, children, and old people, whose fate was even more tragic, and they had to wait for the chiefs to give them a little food, and they also had to help the men in the center find all kinds of small animals hiding in the grass, rats, snakes, and even insects and birds became their food.
A middle-aged man at the head whispered to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man beside him: "Shaodian, the situation is very bad!" If we don't find a way to live, we're done, and we're running out of food. ”
I didn't expect that there were still people called Shaodian in the ruins of Yushan City, which means that these people are all samurai, and it is a bit unbelievable that the samurai master would mix with a group of homeless people.
However, in the Warring States period of Japan at that time, the life of the wild samurai ronin who was destroyed was not much different from that of the homeless, and even a large number of homeless people became the ronin group, and some even mixed up their lives, such as the leader of the Kawanaka Party on the Nowei border, Koroku Besuka.
The young man called Shaodian had a lot of dust on his face, which obscured many of his true features, but the foot equipment he was wearing was in stark contrast to the many outcasts on the periphery, and he took out a short knife from his bosom, which was only one foot and two inches, and the short knife was shining with cold light, like a snake with its mouth open to show off its fangs.
The young man frowned and looked at the rat meat in his hand, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, handed the rat meat to the middle-aged man beside him, shook his head, he really couldn't eat this thing, and replied in a low voice: "Quan Saku, hasn't Shiro Bei come back yet?" ”
The middle-aged man who called Quan Saku shook his head and glanced at the dark sky, his eyes were quite worried about the safety of Shiro Guard, and replied: "There is no movement yet, if it really doesn't work, let's leave this ghost place, I heard people from other places say that Mimura Repair and Zhuang Beizhong are fighting in Oda County, maybe that's our chance to rebuild the Takeuchi family, rumors that Mimura Repair has turned his back on the Izumo Niko clan and joined Anyun Maori Mitsunoku, as long as we show our attitude, he will agree to let us join, As long as he has made war exploits...... "his later words are difficult for even himself to justify."
Another middle-aged man interjected in a low voice: "Quan Zuo, do you think we don't want to leave this ghost place, and that group of homeless people will let us leave?" When we escaped from the city, there were only 7 people, but now there are hundreds of people gathered, there are more than 1,000 people inside and outside the ruins, and there are a group of rogue spies at each major crossing, it is impossible to eat these thousands of people, but it is more than enough to eat us, it doesn't matter if we die, but the words of the young hall are the only descendants of the hall hall, once?! We had to die all the way. As he spoke, he seized power and gnawed the rat meat in his hand.
Shaodian raised his eyebrows, looked at the wolf bèi's unbearable subordinates with a calm expression, his expression was depressed, and he sighed angrily in his heart. I didn't expect that when my father was there, he was extremely brave and boasted loudly about his bravery, but he had just been out of the city for ten days before he became like this, and he actually made such a wolf for the sake of rat meat. Hunger is understandable, but they can't look like wild dogs, they are from noble samurai families.
Shaodian looked at Quan Saku, but the reaction on Quan Saku's face made his heart cold, and he didn't feel abnormal for his companion's wolf bèi, but felt a little sad and indignant for the loss of rat meat.
Can hunger really change a person's mind?! Shaodian sighed in his heart, took a deep breath, and said no more, just waiting for Shiro Bei's return.
There are many such small groups on the ruins of Uyama Castle, they are the largest group with hundreds of people, and the others are mostly small teams of dozens of people, but most of them are men, men who can go out and fight, so overall their strength is not strong.
The affairs of women and children and the elderly, Quan Zuo and another middle-aged man, did not complain to the Shaodian.
There was no laughter, no laughter, but a few sighs from time to time, and the food became less and less. But I'm afraid to go out alone to find a way out, I'm afraid of the attack of the bandits, and if I go out together, I can't get everyone's consent, and I fight separately internally, but I can still be united in the face of the attack of the bandits, but once the bandits and bandits are repulsed, they have their own calculations.
Quan Zuo stood up and said in a low voice: "Shaodian, I'll go to the top of the mountain to get today's food, it's okay to go late, Shibingwei, protect Shaodian!" Ignoring Shaodian's consent, he waved his hand and led a dozen men to run towards the top of the mountain, and at the same time, the entire ruins were in chaos, and one by one the teams ran towards the top of the mountain, where the few remaining baggage grains were gathered.
There is no numbness or death in the eyes of people at this moment, there is blood and greed, greed for food.
……
Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and Kusama Shibei set off overnight, and arrived at Kusama Pass at dawn the next day, accompanied by Isesata, who is the local head snake and can get the care of Omatsu Castle, Miyahara Tanba Mamoru is more sure of his task of recruiting displaced people this time.
But his heart was still up and down, especially when he heard that Kusama Shibei had shown signs of turning into bandits in the Honaga area.
Originally, Masahiro intended to let him set off the next day, but at the insistence of Miyahara Tanba Mamoru at his insistence, he had to take a small boat across the Kosakabe River and enter Tsuchibashi through Oniyama Castle.
After living in Omatsu Castle for a night, Tianmeng Mengliang led 50 ashigaru from Omatsu Castle to Kusama Pass, and in the semi-secluded state of Ise Wakasa, most of the affairs of Omatsu Castle were handled by Isezota, and after learning about Mashiro's plan from Miyahara Tanba Mamoru mouth.
Of course, the matter of the first war this autumn was not clearly explained, but it was said that the two daughters would be married as the second and third ladies around October.
After Isesata heard about this, he and Miyahara Tanba Mamoru immediately became acquainted with each other, and he was sure in his heart that once he married the Niko family, it would be impossible for these women from the retainers to fight against Mrs. Masamuro alone, and only by joining forces could they compete with one or two, thinking that the relationship between the two immediately changed from discord to harmony.
When Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and the others arrived at Kusama Pass, Taoshan Shinbei had just caught a boy who had defeated several people with a short knife outside Kusama Pass.
